Tinubu’s Achievements Will Make It Difficult for Opposition to Unseat Him in 2027 — Wike

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said the infrastructure achievements of President Bola Tinubu’s administration will make it difficult for opposition parties to unseat him in the 2027 general elections.

Wike stated this on Tuesday in Abuja after inspecting ongoing infrastructure projects, arguing that the visible developments across the capital city have given the President a strong record to present to Nigerians during the election campaign.

“So you can see clearly that it would be difficult to unseat the President today because the report card is obvious in terms of what he has done,” he said.

He added that the administration had several visible achievements to campaign with, insisting that Abuja residents would appreciate the infrastructure projects.

“There is no way residents of Abuja will see the kind of infrastructure we have provided and say they are not happy with the achievements of Mr. President. It is second to none,” Wike said.

The projects inspected included the Inner Southern Expressway, Southern Parkway and Arterial Road S1, which connects Ring Road II to the FCT Fire Service Station through the Kaura and Gaduwa districts.

Expressing satisfaction with the pace of construction, Wike said the progress recorded on the Southern Parkway within six to seven months was remarkable.

“Within six to seven months, you can see what has been achieved. It is unimaginable, and that is why we are very happy,” he added.

The minister also disclosed that the FCT Administration was targeting the inauguration of at least 10 major projects before the January 16, 2027 general elections.
